ANOTHER ARGUS LIE NAILED.


ANOTHER ARGUS LIE NAILED.
The charge made in the Portland Argus that
state Treasurer Bureigh was guilty of jobbery
in giving out the contract for engraving and
printing the new State bonds, is squarely met
by that official in the following open letter un-
der date of the 9th:
My attention is called to an article in your is
sue of to-day signed Fair Play dated New
York, insinuating that there was jobbery con-
nected with the engraving and printing of the
new State bonds. Ordinarily | should pay no
attention to the inuendoes of any party who is
unwilling to make specific charges over his own
signature, but as the implied charge is of
grave and sweeping nature etfecting my official
character, i desire to most emphatically to
deny it and pronounce it absolutely false. Sew
eral firms applied to ME for the work and after
consultation with Governor Bodwel, and by
his advice decided to employ the American
Bank Note Company, which had done similar
work for the State in former years in a most
satisfactory manner, and of whose high stand
ing in financial circles no proof is needed. i'll
wife the fullest and freest investigation into
this US well as every official act of my life.
Very respectfully, Z. c. BURLEIGH.
State Treasury.
AN INCIDENT OF THE 4TH IN ELLSWORTH.
In its report of the celebration at Ellsworth
July 4th the American says: In the early
morning a Democratic campaign flag bearing
the names Of Cleveland and Hendricks was
hoisted over Main street. The Grand Army
Posts of this city and other places We're quite
indignant at this, regarding the act as an i'll
suit to them, they being strictly non-partisan
organization. The Ellsworth Post left their
hall between six and seven O'Clock to march to
the station TO do escort duty. Rather than
march under the Ito them offensive flag, they
went down Water street, up Pine, out Han
cock to Main and thence to the station. Be-
fore they returned the flag had been hauled
down which made things pleasant again.
